just as the title states i have two 10 inch a/d/s subwoofer already in a box. If you could please help me out with a good matched amplifier for these it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your help

Need more info. How big is the box, sealed or ported, if ported what's the tuning frequency? Is there a model number for the subs?

 

[spooled951]

i will get the specs tomorrow and post them up
thanks

Are these two subs in DIY boxes built for car audio?

 

[spooled951]

yea they were in a car

 

[tonyvdb]

The boxes built for them may not work well in home theater so you may have to rebuild them however A/D/S makes good drivers. I have a Home audio sub from them from the early 90s that still to this day sounds fantastic.

 

[spooled951]

yea i am thinking of just running one of them. you have any suggestions for a box that i could buy?

 

[Mike P.]

We need the specs of the sub so we can determine the best size box for your needs. This for home theater, correct?

 

[spooled951]

yes i am going to be home today at 2 i will take some pictures and post up the specs

 

[spooled951]

got some pictures for you guys:
i have two of these but probably only need one.
i need a box prefferable already built so i can just screw it in, and also a good amp (you think bash 500w will be big enough?)
thanks

They are dual 4 ohm VC's so it would be better to run both of them off of one amp (like the Bash 500 you mentioned)

This amp might be a little cheaper and easier to get rid of the subsonic filter (which you don't really want)

Since you do not want to build a box I would say try to find a prefab box that has ~3.5 to 5.5 cu.ft. internal volume. I doubt many car audio boxes will be that big for only 2 10's as they call for less than 1cuft each in a car, but you might get lucky or you can mod some 12" or 15" boxes.

If you use only one sub you'll have to wire it for an 8 ohm load since the Bash 500 can't handle a 2 ohm load. The amp will do 250 watts into 8 ohms with one sub or you can use both subs, wire them for a 4 ohm load and get 500 watts from the amp.
